Wang Qing said coldly, "I want the doctor to come."

The doctor, Mr. Wu, was the court physician sent by Wang Qing's father and he was one of the best even in the Imperial Hospital. Dr. Wu had a close understanding of pills, so it was evident that Black City had an edge on medical talents if he was unable to find out how the powder was made.

Wang Qing was appalled by what he happened to find out about Black City while he was chasing after Mu Tian. More importantly, he knew there were more surprising secrets to expect from this place.

After a while, Dr. Wu hurried over here. He walked up to Wang Qing and curtsied. "Your Highness."

"Get up and tell me about the situation."

Dr. Wu staggered to his feet in fear. "Your Highness, sorry. There is no, nothing I can do."

Wang Qing's eyes shone cold. "Tell me what happened."

"The guards who are in a coma total 223. They have no other symptoms, so I'm sure it's a kind of knockout drops."

"Stop gibbering. Just tell me what the powder is and how to make it."

"I, I can't do it." Dr. Wu knew nobody who was able to make this kind of power and none of the knockout drops he knew could work so fast. Besides, even if he was able to make the powder, it could not be mass-produced for lack of herbs. The manpower and industrial resources were also part of the problem. It was impossible to invest so much in medicine at this stage.

Dr. Wu did not dare to promise anything. The knockout drops he made were unable to put down so many guards tonight. According to what other unscathed guards told him, those guards passed out the moment the powder was spread. If so, he would rather kill himself than make the powder.

Wang Qing stared at Dr. Wu with a dark face and Dr. Wu felt as if he was frozen by Wang Qing's cold eyes.

The poor doctor was having cold sweats.

After a long time, Wang Qing said, "Just leave."

Wang Qing returned to his room with a sneer. He wondered if Mu Tian believed that he was cornered; he was determined to teach the betrayer a lesson sooner or later.

At the same time, things were different in the governor's official residence.

"You're back! Thank heavens." Murong Xue waited at the door anxiously. The moment she saw Lin Yang and the others, she rushed to welcome them.

Lin Yang said, "Let's go inside. He is injured."

The guards who carried Feng Ziling put him down on the sofa carefully.

"You did a good job. Go and rest now." Thanks to Murong Xue's useful powder, none of Lin Yang's guards was hurt tonight.

Lin Yang confessed to himself that Murong Xue was more capable than he had expected. If they were enemies, he could not guarantee his victory.

The nine guards involved in the rescue nodded and left with a bow. No one needed to kneel down to others in Black City. The governor once told them not to bow down to anyone easily and he treated them as his brothers; they were convinced by Lin Yang's faith in building a city of peace together. Although he regarded them as his family, they all treated him as the lord they were loyal to forever.

Murong Xue asked while checking on Feng Ziling, "How did he get hurt?"

"He was like this when we got there. Wang Qing..." Murong Xue knew what Lin Yang was trying to say even though he did not finish his sentence. Obviously, Wang Qing was boiling with rage and vented his anger on Feng Ziling.

Several bottles of pills showed up in Murong Xue's hands from nowhere. She helped Feng Ziling take the pills with the spiritual water before she started to unbutton his clothes.

"What are you doing?" Lin Yang had a twitch in his face.

Her hands moving restlessly, Murong Xue answered, "I'm going to treat him. Can't you see he has been through whiplash? "

"Let me call a doctor for you."

"I'm better than the doctors outside. You come from the future. Why are you so rigid?"

Lin Yang was speechless.

Whiplash wounds were all over Feng Ziling's body. Some of the wounds and the clothes were bonded by his blood, so the wounds worsened when Murong Xue tried to take off his clothes, which made her frown with pity.

When she finally managed to undress him, what she saw was even more terrifying. With Lin Yang's help, she carefully cleaned the wounds, applied medicine to the wounds, and had the wounds wrapped up. Feng Ziling looked much better now, but he was still unconscious.

Murong Xue took his pulse with a worried face and she felt relieved when she found nothing wrong with him. Feng Ziling was just a little weak and needed to rest.

Murong Xue asked Lin Yang, "Help me take him to his room to sleep."

"Okay. It's my luck to meet you and be your slave." Lin Yang took Feng Ziling in his arms.

Murong Xue raised a helpless smile.

After tucking him in, Murong Xue and Lin Yang carefully closed the door and left Feng Ziling alone to have a good rest.

Lin Yang said, "Go downstairs. We need to talk."

However, when the door was just closed, Feng Ziling in the room opened his eyes, his dark cold eyes shining.

Sitting on the sofa, Murong Xue said genuinely, "Thank you for what you did tonight."

Lin Yang waved his hands to stop her, frowning. "No need. Let's discuss what we should do next. Wang Qing noticed us now. I'm afraid that he will make a move soon." Wang Qing came out to chase them tonight, so Lin Yang knew Feng Ziling must be very important to him. If so, Wang Qing would never let them get away with it.

Murong Xue asked, "How about your military equipment?" She had seen no equipment in the governor's residence except guns, so she had no idea what Lin Yang had now.

Lin Yang looked at her and answered, "I want to ask you something before talking about it."

"What? Just say it."

"I don't think Wang Qing imprisoned you only because he found you strange. What happened between you two and him? "

Murong Xue avoided his eyes. "Well, he likes me. He wants to take me home and marry me."

"Ugh? What are you talking about?"

"I'm telling the truth. You know I want to go home. I can't stay here. What's that look?"

"Wang Qing is not blind. He likes you?" Lin Yang looked at her contemptuously.

"Screw you. Let's talk business." Angrily, Murong Xue struck him with a throw pillow on the sofa.

"You really get me into trouble now. Black City is going to have a hard time."

"We have nothing to fear as long as we are prepared in advance. You come from the future; you are smarter than them. Besides, the three countries have long been competing with each other. It's not easy for them to reach an agreement. Or, we can take Wang Qing as our prisoner before he can since he is in your territory now."

Lin Yang looked at her with a speechless face. "Maybe you are an expert at something, but you talk like an idiot when it comes to military affairs."

Murong Xue blushed. "Why?"

"The three countries have besieged Black City now. If Wang Qing is captured by us, Fire Country will attack us at once. They don't have many weapons, but what they have are enough to wipe out this city."

"How about this? You have explosives now. You can conduct military exercises outside the city and use explosives to scare them."

"There is still something wrong with our explosives and the lethality is not as good as modern ones. Gunpowder is fine, but dynamite is a better choice in terms of power." Lin Yang regarded dynamite as his last resort because he knew how much damage it could cause. He was unwilling to see piled bodies in rivers of blood.

"I'll go there and check on that tomorrow."

Lin Yang doubted, "Can you? You are only a businesswoman in modern times."

"I don't know much about the production process, but I know the formula very well." Murong Xue learned these from Mo Ziwen. Now she was grateful to the security department of Rise Group, Black Pavilion.

When Ziwen told her that he wanted to produce military equipment, they two did quite some research. Therefore, she acquired relevant knowledge.

"Okay, I'll show you tomorrow. And the military exercise you mentioned is worth considering."

"Sorry, and thank you."

"Hum, finally you remembered to thank me."

"There is one more thing..." Murong Xue's eyebrows twisted.

Lin Yang was startled. "What else did you do?" He threw a pillow at her.

"Ahem, why would you say that? Do you think I'm a troublemaker?"

"Of course, you are a real troublemaker. I want to send you home as soon as possible. If you can get out of my sight now, I couldn't be more grateful."

"You are heartless. Fine. To be honest, people in Snow Country know where I'm from and what technologies I know..." She knew Jiu Yan was a good man, but only the common people would suffer if Lin Yang and he fought against each other. Unwilling to see that happen, she decided to choose one of them and help the chosen one achieve it quickly.

"You, you..." Glaring at her, Lin Yang pointed at her with his shaking finger, unable to say anything because of anger.

What she said made Lin Yang realize that their biggest secret was exposed to people in this world. He had every right to be mad.

Seeing his terrifying expression, Murong Xue stepped back.

Murong Xue explained with an innocent look, "Don't be mad. I did not know you at that time. Your work of safeguarding secret was so good that I thought it was just a normal ancient world."

Lin Yang gave her a glare, "You dare have the reason! Tell me how much they know."
